Student Life - More Than Just Your Nose in a Book

"Students
thrived in
every area

of the
college."

ife at Davidson molded us

into outstanding young men

and women and sent us on a

journey incomparable to any

other, the journey of growth and

maturity.

We lived in a microcosm, a
world of our own, where life
revolved around academics,
sports, socializing, and sleep.
Time management was the key to
survival and proved to be a valu-
able lesson for later life. The rig-
orous "Davidson Experience"
demanded discipline, dedication,
and hard work. We hated the
stress, the demand, and the chal-
lenge of Davidson, yet we loved it
all the same. Students met the

challenge and then asked for
more.

Our thirst for knowledge kept
us camped at drop/add for hours
and up until 5 a.m. doing papers.
The debate over "who has the
most work" raged on and no mat-
ter how much was assigned, it all
got done.

The persistent dedication dis-
played in academics also surged in
the sports arena. We excelled in
athletics bringing home a fourth
Deep South field hockey champi-
onship, boasting a winning record
in football, and the best basketball
season in years..

We also dedicated ourselves to
Paterson Court, succeeding to

"bring down the house" each
weekend despite sober moni-
tors, risk monitors, and police
monitors.

Discipline and regard for
other led students to communi-
ty service where they gave
hours of their time and hearts to
helping others. Reach Out,
IVCF, FCA, and other Patter-
son Court houses allowed us to
lend a helping hand to needy
people outside our tiny campus.

Student life at Davidson was
a life like no other. It made us
smile and it made us cry, but
most of all, through the best
years of our lives, it made us
grow.

from keeping their spirits high. With smiling faces
and squinting eyes they looked on during the annu-

could probably be spotted on our Homecoming

he Academic Procession — a regalia of black

Tand robed excellence. Parents inspired to recap-
ture old college years — "When I was in school
... " Students with full wallets and refrigerators
anxious to put their parents to bed.
Parents' Weekend. Not simply a weekend for our fami-
lies, but a Davidson tradition. Parents and siblings pack
themselves up in cars or board that late-night flight bound
for Charlotte in order to see exactly what Davidson students
do from August to May.

As we walked around campus under the autumn canopy
of late October, we were greeted with familiar sights. Fresh-
man parents received the complete tour and the full low-
down on all the professors. Sophomore parents, feeling like
pros, were glad to be back in comfortable settings. Junior
parents concerned about their child's future, asked the typi-
cal question, "Have you thought about it?" And of course.
Senior parents doted over their soon-to-be graduate and
shared in the excitement of Fall Convocation.

Parents' Weekend 1993 proved no exception to the charming tradition of bringing our greater
Davidson family together on campus. Fall Convocation speaker Johnetta Cole reminded us of the
importance of community and challenged students and parents alike to continuously cultivate the
nobility of human consciousness. We kept our parents busy with Parent Seminars, the game against
Hampden-Sydney, and EQUUS, yet still managed to fit in some time at the mall.

At the end of the weekend. Seniors put away their robes until May and families reluctantly loaded
themselves back into cars and planes. Thank goodness we won't have to go through this again.

Christmas

in
Davidson

andle lit faces, a circle of

C carolers, the Clauses climb-
ing down Chambers, car-
toons in the Union, cider
burning the roof of your
mouth — it all added

to the wonderful expe-
rience of Christmas in
Davidson. And every
student felt "some-
thing" in the midst of
celebrating, no matter
their homeland.

"I've never seen
Christmas celebrated in college," said
Slava Brisiuck. "In the Ukraine, we
only celebrate in families. Everyone
here really tries to be festive — the
halls, the dorms, and even the trees.

"Tve never seen
Christmas cele-
brated in college."
— Slava Brisiuck

You felt like it's a real holiday."

"This sounds really cheesy," said Dev-
jani Dev from Calcutta, India, "but my
favorite part is the tree lighting. It is the
only time when almost the whole campus
is together. Even
though I'm not Christ-
ian and don't celebrate
Christmas, it still
makes me feel good."

And for a native's
view, Will Robinson
offered this comment,
"It was the first time
I've had cider since I was a little kid."

Davidson, once again demonstrating
its unique character, successfully
inspired the Christmas spirit in all of us.

made possible through the generosi-
ty of private donors and the hard work of David-
son College art professors and administration.
The Visual Arts Center, or VAC, was a state of
the art facility offering Davidson students
greater opportunities to improve their visual lit-
eracy. The VAC was well equipped to meet the
demands of studio art and art history students,
providing a rich visual education for individuals
with any and all interests in art.

The facility gained the attention of those in
the art world as well. At the official opening of
the VAC, a few thousand people made their way
through the building. The creation of the VAC
added momentum to the faculty's goal to attract
more visiting speakers, as well as to provide gal-
leries for visiting artists. Davidson had the plea-
sure of hosting such famous art historians as Leo
Steinberg, an expert in modern and Renaissance
art, and Albert Eisen, an expert on Rodin.

As the art building attracted new students,
many discovered for the first time how much the
art faculty had to offer. The VAC was able to
store the college's collection of over 4,000
works of art, including works by such prominent
figures as Picasso, Munch, and de Kooning.

Davidson had come a long way since 1953,
when the first full-time art professor was hired.
After just one year of use, the Visual Arts Cen-
ter made a giant leap in the eyes of the art com-
munity.

'93, formed the Projecl Life committee. The
student-run operation, dedicated to finding
potential bone marrow donors and placing
them on the National Bone Marrow Registry,
held us liisi drive in the spring o( 1991. Over
450 students, faculty, and members of the
Davidson community participated in that first
drive, and by 1994. Project Life had typed
nearly 1600 people.

Each year thousands of patients around the
world in need of transplants were unable to
find suitable donors. Leukemia, other types of
cancer, and aplastic anemia were three diseases
for which bone marrow transplants were the
only cua'. The chances for achieving this com-
plex genetic match were 1 in 20,000 for unre-
lated persons. Therefore, each additional name
added to the Registry improved the odds of
finding a perfect match.

Project Life was the most successful college
bone marrow drive in the United States. Three
students typed at Davidson matched and subse-
quently donated their marrow to needy recipi-
ents. With the support of the Davdison campus
and community. Project Life continued to raise
funds, educate the public, and hold the Annual
Bone Marrow Drive.

DEAN

RE TIRES

I amous Mets outfielder Ron Swobo-

Fda once asked. "Win am I wasting
so much dedication on a mediocre
career.'" He is bv no means

mediocre, hut I"m sure that Dean

Terrs has had occasions to second-guess his
devotion to Davidson College. The stories we
heard at his Farewell Roast about punching pro-
lessors, drug busts in Belk. and being bitten by
dogs are surelv funny, not only because Dean
Tern didn't leave Davidson in a huff, but also
because he persevered. He sat through many an
awful student performance, dealt with an incred-
ible number of disciplinary problems, and toler-
ated arrogance, self-importance, and incompe-
tence from time to time from every segment of
the campus community. He did it all. however,
with an enviable dedication to duty and an irre-
pressible sense of humor.

I said at Dean Terry's roast that he was proba-
bly so fascinated with the Bible because he had
li\ed through it. However, without being ridicu-
lous, he embodies many of the characten sties that
the Bible attempts to inculcate in people. He is
warm, charitable, trusting, and °enuine. But most

of all, he has faith, in this instance, in the mission
ol this institution and in the judgment of its stu-
dents. He was always our advocate, and he tire-
lessly made sure we reached for the stars.

There are only two ways a college administra-
tor can be revered. One is by being a pushover
and an apologist. This kind of reverence is not
accompanied by any sort of respect. Dean Terr) .
though, inspired the second type of adulation. We
knew where he stood, and although we didn't
always like it. we respected him for what he did.
We also developed an immense amount of affec-
tion for the darling little guy.

What appeals to many about organized reli-
gion is the alluring combination of mischief and
piety. I can imagine the pious Dean Terry slur-
ring his way through an early Sunday service
after a mischievous night. It was not uncommon
to see him at parties or 21 -year old night. The fact
that he understood students and enjoyed being
around us made him eminently more likable, and.
of course, more accessible and easy to trust.

While listening to a painfully earnest response
to one of my cigarette machine questions from
one of the candidates for DT's old job. it finally

sunk in how much I'm going to miss the Deai
putting me in my place. Had I asked him abou
cigarette machines in the residence halls. h
would have given me that "Gullan. you're ai
idiot" look that 1 undoubtedly would hav
deserved. Many other students have communi
cated to me how they were never safe from hi
witt) scalpel, and how they relished the bante
and the play till badinage one could always expec
from Dean Terry.

Unlike the Charlotte observer. I don't feel thtf
need to fraudulently comment on Dean Terry'
legacy. I can only say that he made me feel wel
come. He's been our Dean of Students, father fig
ure. friend, and confidant tor over twenty vears
and I hope he knows how much we all respec
him. Thank you. Dean Terry, for making us al
feel at home, and remember that you will neve
be forgotten.

basketball game if the Class of 1973 met its Annual Fund goal.

provided him.

and Dean of Students April 1994

Dear Davidson:

Since your small beginnings in 1837, you have grown to national stature.
Your rise in fame has been because you have not changed the fundamental
purposes which gave you birth — hard work, a dedication to honor, a
democratic spirit committing you to educate children of all classes, and
the courage to embrace the Christian faith without apology. You have
not chased every educational fad but maintained a solid curriculum for
the intellectual growth of your students. Your leaders have been
persons of spiritual sensitivity and personal integrity. These are the
gualities that have made you great, and they are the ones which will
keep you great.

As I have read your history, I have become convinced that it is the
providence of God that has sustained you in the midst of financial
crises, even poverty at times, through a Civil War, a disastrous fire,
and the upheaval of the 1960s which changed American higher education
forever. It is that same kind Providence that will sustain your future
if you keep your sense of history.

Since I came here as the greenest freshman whom you ever accepted, you
have helped me become the man that I am. I have seen the same nurture
and challenge change the lives of countless other men and women. You
have exposed me and others to the finest human beings with whom one
could associate. We, your sons and daughters, have made the kinds of
friendships that will sustain us all our lives; that is one of your
invaluable gifts to us all.

Alma Mater, you have been concerned not just with our heads but with our
hearts, our souls, our bodies. Never lose that commitment to educate
the whole person. Please never cease to be a place where people can
laugh and play as well as think and learn. Continue to challenge all
who come here to serve the less fortunate, to be instruments of peace
and justice so that the nation and the world will benefit from a
Davidson education.

Overt piety is not a trait I admire or possess, but I earnestly ask
God's richest blessing as you face the future. Face it with courage,
with imagination and with love for this place we call Davidson so that
tomorrow will be as rich as yesterday has been and today is.

Twas McGeorge Bundy,
National Security Ad> i
sor under Presidents

Kenned) and Johnson

from 1961-66. His well-attended
lecture entitled. "Vietnam: 1 ooking
Hack. Looking 1 orward," addressed
the controversies shrouding the
Vietnam wai since us outbreak in
the earl} 1l>Mis. and imparled a
somewhat different perspective to
those who attended. Bundy' S role as
National Security Advisor required
his intimate involvement in the
course of the war. and as expressed
in his lecture, in retrospect he felt he
was wrong in supporting involve-
ment in Vietnam.

In addition to his official lecture
to the college community. Bundy
participated in a question and
answer session for the Senior Histo-
ry Colloquium students, during
which he candidly discussed his role
in the presidential cabinet, his opin-
ions, and the presidents he served. A
lively and engaging speaker. Bundy
provided his audience with several
amusing anecdotes, but more
importantly, with a clearer under-
standing of the dynamics of foreign
relations. Bundy commented, "All
generalizations about foreign affairs
are fake, except, in every case, the
process is different — who's for it,
against it. and the size of the prob-
lem. But above all, we should be
wary of generalizations." This
remark proves quite apropos, and as
Professor of History Ralph Lever-
ing stated, "very relevant to recent
events." Mr. Bundy" s lecture, while
entertaining and informative, most
importantly reminded us of the pre-
carious balance of global relations
in our constantly changing world.

lass of 1994. Everyone had his or

evitable feeling of, "Why am I

ceived a welcoming "kiss" before

from Richmond. Virginia, could
not even understand her fellow
Southerner Karla. who lived no far-

room with her pastel comforter and
Monet prints, Karla proceeded to
hang clashing black and red
posters. The two had more than
minor disagreements. Karla
claimed, "She was the devil incar-
nate." They eventually reached a

truce and even grew to respect each
other. At the end of the year, they
wrote to Richard Terry, their year-
long referee, to thank him for bring-
ing them together and to tell him
that they would be rooming togeth-
er for the rest of their time at David-

One member. Disco
Man, survived a wild
night on the court but not without
battle wounds.

The night started with Disco Man
grinding to the beat at an eating
house mixer. As the party pro-
gressed, Disco Man engaged in a
back bending round of limbo. Dur-
ing his third time under, something
went awry in his spinal column.
Despite minor discomfort, Disco
Man cruised over to Sig Ep where
he met Love Goddess A. Her lovely
face and prospects of the night to
come kept Disco Man gyrating to
the music like a wild contortionist.

Soon his back screamed for
mercy and Love Goddess A accom-
panied him to Richardson where
Love Goddess B walked on his
back. Left in a state of minor paral-
ysis and excruciating pain after the
tap dance on his back, Disco Man
begged for an ambulance. Moments
later, the medics carried him out as a
curious crowd buzzed in the parking
lot.

nied Disco Man to the hospital, said,

he Senior Year was

Tthe last chance to pre-
pare for the cold reali-
ty of taxes and death.
Some people used this
time to study con-
stantly. Others, however, had as much
fun as possible before they moved into
their parents basement and flipped
burgers at McDonald* s.

We finally earned the privilege to
party without even leaving the privacy
of our own homes ... given the hordes
of visitors fit onto a minuscule porch
(remember avoiding the wrath of
party-busting Davidson policemen?).
Then, for the first time, we were
responsible for our own messes. "Hey,
who threw bottle caps in the garbage
disposal?!"

Seniors planned strategic road trips
around internship applications and
"freer" schedules. We could be seen
gambling in Atlantic City and all the
way to New Orleans, scouring for

moments of procrastination. We could
be heard exclaiming, "What does the

and Butthead!"

Twenty-One Year Old Night had its
share of die hard senior attendees. We
discovered what really went on behind
the closed doors of the 900 Room after
speakers and Union movies.

And once in a while, we even ven-
tured over to the Careers Office, at
least when we got up the nerve to face
resumes, interviews, and business
suits.

Senior year bridged the gap
between carefree youth and the shock-
ing "real world." We lived in slight
fear and anticipation of life after
Davidson, holding on to our last fleet-
ing moments of college, only dipping
our toes into the great pool of life and
having as much fun as possible.

DATING

At Davidson ? Yeah, right!

br tour years, Da\ idson
seniors braved a rigor

competitive sports, and
tiresome meetings.
True, these aspects of collegiate life
were very important for nurturing
individual and team spirit, but they
failed to recognize one of history's
most important phenomenon: the
Couple. Sure, a few people "dated"
here and there. Some seemed to
hook up anytime the opportunity
arose. But even if you asked some-

"Dating is spending an enchanted evening at the Pub."

Will Coble

"The only real date I've had has been from someone already graduated from

"I don't know what it is."

Morgan Savage

"Dating at Davidson is inhibited by presumption of intent."

DeVane Tidwell

"Dating at Davidson is a bunch of worried people over-analyzing a given situ
tion."

Mary Elizabeth Murphy Ryan Harper

"At Davidson, hook up while you can; the real world is coming soon when
people expect you to call the next day."

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the age of alcohol, t

nxious parents dropped

A not-so-subtle remind-
ers that it was just
around the corner.

1 Thoughts of it haunted

•niors even as they slept. But
.actly how did a lost soul prepare
r THE REAL WORLD?!?!

Some seniors wished it away by
irtying several times a week and
mtinuing with life as usual. Others
>uld only cringe when they real-
ed that they were running out of
ne. A concerned few even dared

plan ahead. These members of the
lass of 1994 explored future job
)ssibilities by serving as interns at
ganizations whose work interest-
1 them.

Alice Spivey helped the Red
ross with its blood donor recruit-

ment program. Herself a recipient of
blood through this organization.
Alice spoke to church groups about
the need for their participation in
order to reach certain goals.
Through her experience, she learned
that a successful blood drive
required planning, workers, money,
and lots of volunteers. Alice said
that her work "meant a lot because it
was something I believed in. You
never know when you will need the
help of the Red Cross."

On his way to Wall Street, Scott
Newnam spent three mornings a
week at Buckhorn Capital Manage-
ment in downtown Charlotte. He
collected information that he then
used to value and predict stock
prices. His hard work paid off when
he landed a job at Merrill Lynch in

New York.

Katherine Anderson and Cristina
Lopez-Ibanez tried out their Span-
ish on international television. The
two spent ten hours a week at the
Charlotte NBC affiliate helping
with ""Spanish News," a new pro-
gram broadcast in Latin America.
They contacted embassies, arranged
interviews with Latin American
diplomats and acted as liaisons with
the producers, directors, and
anchormen while on air.

Karen Sullivan pursued a love of
animals by working at the North
Mecklenburg Animal Hospital. She
observed during regular office
appointments and surgeries and
accompanied veterinarians to farms,
where they treated horses and cows.
Karen planned to attend veterinary

school after graduation and felt
that her internship gave her
"practice that was just as valu-
able as any textbook learning."

Internships provided seniors
with valuable experience in their
fields of interest. Interning
taught students practical skills
and gave many seniors a head
start into "life after college."

On the Court, we had a chance to

id at least four beers up the stairs
once and deposited them on a
rarby table where our eager hands
abbed them. With the end of

3.5 grade points. When the Class of
1994 left Davidson, the final memo-
ries of life without minus grades
left, too. Earlier classes needed 34
classes to graduate while we only
needed 33.

Bonus bucks didn't mean much
to the Class of 1994 because in
1990-91, we didn't have them.
Reports of "Bogus Bucks" from
later classes made us glad we
missed out. The Class of 1994 did
have homemade lofts in up the hill
dorms, another perk that vanished
from Davidson life.

Seniors witnessed many changes
at Davidson over their four years.
We saw the birth of CHAL and the
construction of two new apartment
buildings. We had two and a half
good years with B & E, and stuck
around long enough to enjoy new
places like Movies at the Lake and
Taco Bell. But as far as require-
ments and partying went, the senior
class snaked through just in time to
have lived the good life. Heck,
when the Class of 1994 left, Dean
Terry realized it was time to leave,
too.

dormant as ever, the apartments
were probabl) nicer than what most

Living in the apartments meant
never again having to scramble to
the nearest lounge for the latest
episode of Beavis and Butthead.
Cable hook-ups in each apartment
kept the senior class entertained
throughout the year — not to men-

And the absence of dormitory custo-

room as messy as your heart
desired, or as much as your suite-

Kitchens equipped with full-sized

refrigerators gave seniors a place to
store leftover Domino's pizza for as

months for some people. When the
weather turned warm, front porches
tilled with students lounging about
on sunny. Spring days. The porches
also made great spots for late night
parties where your sleeping neigh-

some questions still
baffled Davidson

seniors. No amount of

classroom learning explained such
mysteries as. "Win does everyone
dance in die small room at K.A par-

Sidewalks of Davidson im sti-

answer. "Whj is there a human
figure on the ground outside
Chambers'.'". "Win doc's the brick
sidewalk just stop behind KA?"
and "Why do you park on a drive-
waj and drive on a parkway?"
Man) seniors who walked through
Richardson Plaza often wondered.
"Whs do we have steaming pot-
holes?"

Television provided more unan-
swerable questions such as. "Win
don't Dick Clark and the Sfhipsons
age?", "What's the mesmerizing
fascination with Star Trek?",

"Win isn't there a channel number
one?" and "Who decided that
Channel 3 was the magic VCR
channel?"

had the same 'favorite' Stall?" and
"Why do toilet paper manufactur-
ers make toilet paper segments so
ridiculous!) small?"

Cruising Harris Teeter even left
some seniors asking. "Why are tall
kitchen garbage hags not tall?" and
"Why do you always pick the slow

Baffling questions attacked

avidson. a land

D where academics
flourished in
1993-94. A place
where learning
engulfed the minds of all stu-
dents. Tunnel vision aimed at
the god of tests and papers kept
many senior men planted in the
puke-green carpeted temple,
but many found time to pursue
other interests. Some seniors
made a name for themselves in
nonacademic areas, devoting
their time to a myriad of

enthralling activities. These senior
gentlemen became known as
STUDS.

Wesley Davis devoted months to
growing his hair out to earn the title
"Windblown Stud." However. Gregg
Sartiano's ponytailed locks dominat-
ed the scene for four years making
him "The Hair Dude Stud".

Tucked deep inside the Phi Delt
apartment, one could always find
Wyatt Lilly serving up drinks from
his personal bar. Grades didn't matter
to Wyatt because he had a future as
the "Bartending Stud". Mild-man-

nered Rogers King, "The Liver of
Steel Stud," spent most nights with a
beer in hand and a smile on his face.
Transportation provided an arena
for Stud-dom, too. Zooming through
the rolling hills of Iredell County,
Will McDaniel stunned cattle as he
whizzed by, fulfilling his role as 'The
Biking Stud". David Kraybill's
strong attachment to his beat-up jeep
earned him the title "Jeep Stud".
When he returned from Christmas
break in a Subaru he said, "I lost the
jeep to higher emission standards.
My life will never be the same."

If you ever had a fashion
problem, DeVane Tidwell was
the man to call. He dressed bet-
ter than a live J. Crew model
and was known as "The Fash-
ion Stud".

Every Davidson senior male
was a stud in his own right;
these were just a few worth
mentioning. I would have writ-
ten more of these obnoxious
things, but there wasn't enough
room. Heck, if you got into
Davidson, you were a stud.

Stuck on Davidson

The junior yeai at Davidson was

a lot like reliving the freshman year
t or main of us. Normally, a majori-
ty of students weni abroad for either
a semester or even the entire year.
Although studying in Europe
sounded like a dream compared to
the strenuous work load on the
home front, for those students who
chose to stay at Davidson, it really
was not all that had.

There were many pros and cons
to sticking around Davidson. The
negative side of it was obviously the
constant workload. Then there was
the problem of where you might
have lived. Some juniors were hall
counselors, back in Rich. Belk. and
Little. Others chose to live off-cam-
pus, and were sometimes thought to
be abroad due to their lack of com-
mon appearances on campus. Then
there was the postage and phone
bills adding up as people realized
how weird it was without all their
friends around.

There were also many pros to
staying through the third Near. The

tact that some of our closest friends
were gone allowed us to get to know
some of the underclassmen better,
as well as our own classmates. Also,
how could Australia have been bet-
ter than Homecoming or Spring
Frolics' What if we had missed
dressing up for PiKA's 70's Party or
SAE's Tacky Party? So, if you went
abroad you missed all of the fun
social events that took place the
semester you were gone. And you
cannot forget, if you were gone in
the spring, you were not here to pick
out that perfect senior apartment.

Junior year did take many adjust-
ments like freshman year. However,
overall, as much as people might not
believe, sticking around Davidson
all year was actually just as reward-
ing as any other experience.

Coast Trek

What do you call 1 5 random peo-
ple with a "fearless leader," living,
breathing, and swimming with
marine invertebrates on an island
off the coast of North Carolina?
Beaufort-Plus. Davidson's joint
biology program with Duke Univer-
sity was located at the Duke Marine
Lab on Piver's Island, where stu-
dents from both schools had the
opportunity to participate in ongo-
ing marine research.

The '93 program got off to a
scary start due to an emergency
evacuation within the first few days
of arrival. Hurricane Emily was
headed directly towards Beaufort,
so the group left for Kinston, N. C,
where they held class in the home of
a Davidson alumnus.

Once back to Beaufort, the
"crew" was housed in a quaint
cabin, Dorm 2, welcoming ten
weeks of becoming one with marine
invertebrates. Besides the regular

classes, under the direction of biolo-
gy professor Dr. David Grant, the
group went on exciting field labs
such as mud running in Bell Creek,
boat rides on the Susan Hudson, and
canoe trips to Kirby-Smith Island.
In addition to scholastic pursuits,
most members of the program also
received their scuba license, as well
as visited other beaches along the
Atlantic Ocean. Where else could
they discover such swanky hang-
outs as the Dock House and Sha-
boom's?

t remained at Davidson
j a comfortable niche,
ving proven that they could
idle Davidson's grueling acad-
emics and riveting social scene,
juniors were typically able to
relax and avoid thoughts of the
gradually encroaching real world.
ROTC cadets, however, were not
afforded that luxury. MS-llls
faced the knowledge that sum-
mer's arrival was inevitable, and
with it. Advanced Camp.

Every summer, cadets from all
over the East journeyed to Ft.
Bragg in Fayetteville. N. C, for
six weeks of intense military
training. Cadets were asked to
perform difficult tasks while
under constant scrutiny. The pur-
pose of the Camp was to evaluate
a cadet's potential for leadership
in the Army.

Much of a cadet's junior year
was spent developing the person-

al traits crucial for success at
Camp. MS-IIIs were given their
first reaJ leadership positions, and
forced to work well both as lead-
ers and as followers. Several
times a week, they met for rigor-
ous PT sessions. Military skills
were taught in the classroom and
implemented in weekly labs dur-
ing the spring semester. Three
weekends a year were devoted to
field training exercises, which
duplicated military conditions
and allowed cadets to measure
their progress. In addition, cadets
were sometimes assigned ROTC
related projects outside of the
classroom.

Overall, the MS-11I year was a
positive experience. Shared goals
and anxieties and hours of com-
miseration cemented together
lasting friendships. And though it
was easy to complain of the extra
time spent in ROTC training, all
an MS-III needed to do was
imagine heading to Fort Bragg
unprepared, in order to silence
such talk.

Less Stress

Second semester of junior year meant one thing
. . the quest for the infamous senior apartment. For
past elasses it had been an extremely stressful
ordeal because not everyone was guaranteed the
palatial living quarters our school had so generous-
ly made available. The lack of apartments left some
seniors stranded in Duke, Pax, off-campus, or even
in the basements of Cannon and Sentelle. However,
1994 was quite different, for Davidson finally got
around to building more apartments. Martin Court
Building F would house five people instead of four,
giving the option of adding another person to apart-
ment groups. Unfortunately, there were only 18 of
them available. Many students thus chose to stick
to the four-person option, worried that five people
was too many. Still. Building F filled up quickly.
Overall, the ordeal of senior apartments was less
stressful.

The fact that there were actually more apartment
spaces than the Class of '95 could fill, led to the
idea of juniors taking these extra spaces. There
were mixed feelings about underclassmen having
the luxury of an apartment a year early. Shelly
Baker claimed, "That bites.' but her roommate,
Amanda Lesesne thought it would be great to start
a Junior/Senior prom to go with the Junior/Senior
apartments. Regardless of juniors joining the Class
of '95 in Martin Court, everyone was at least grate-
ful for the new additions.

Healitn. CleaniDii. and Dnrenistered Parties

It was a beautiful Saturday morn-

2 in Davidson and many students,
:luding myself, seemed to be suf-
ring a common sickness, hang-
ers! As I stumbled from the safe
ven of my room, I entered into
lat appeared to be a battle zone.
le casualties were numerous,
eat fallen warriors from the night
fore filled the couches and floor

3 this whole thing is not going to
yme so nicely). That stale odor of
er and cigarettes filled the air in
: living room, littered with color-

ful Solo cups and a myriad of
uncrushed beer cans.

I then faced my greatest fear,
opening the front door to survey the
real damage. Instead of seeing an
ocean of green grass, my view was
obstructed by a plethora of even
more Solo cups and cigarette butts.
As I began to clean up, three
thoughts came to mind. First of all,
why did we have a party at our
house? Where are pledges when you
need them? And, thirdly, thank
goodness for big trash cans. Once

*i*z

«t the stinker! Shell) Baker hunts down and kills the skunk thai invaded her house and
ced her to live in a motel for over a week

the cleaning was taken care of and
the hangover began to wear off, I
forgot about the horrible aftermath,
and was ready to do it all again. The
experience just described was a
reoccurring one for people who
chose to live off-campus, for those
chosen few who faced their first
reality check and responsibilities.

Living off-campus had its advan-
tages as well as its drawbacks. Sud-
denly your living quarters trans-
formed from a cramped dorm room
for two, to a spacious room for one
(okay, maybe a little bit of exagger-
ation here), a kitchen, a living room,
and yes, your own bathroom (well,
to share with one or two other peo-
ple, and not an entire hall). It was
great, but once that overwhelming
feeling of having your own space
began to feel mighty comfortable,
reality set in . . . namely, rent and
utility bills. Everyone experienced
the annoying feeling of going to the
P.O., opening their box, only to find
it filled with worthless fliers and
coupon booklets, which I feel easy
in saying were never used, but
immediately tossed into the nearest
trash can. However, for those off-
campus dwellers, receiving such
useless mail was quite enjoyable; at
least it was not the dreaded phone
bill. Those who could not escape the
wrath of grubby money collectors,
not only became hostile, but sud-
denly envisioned a shrinking bank
account, one less meal away from

their eating house or the Com-
mons, and no more trips to the
Pub or Backstreet. While these
monthly bills bothered most
"off-campusers," a few crazy
(although, probably less
stressed) individuals just ignored
them. No problem — living
without the basic necessities of
water, heat, the telephone, and
yes, even cable, was doable.

All in all, living off-campus
for a year was an experience I
would recommend to every stu-
dent. It taught one responsibility,
one of the most valuable lessons
in life. Plus, it gave one the satis-
faction of true personal space,
the option to choose the people
one came in contact with, and of
course, the all important concept
of noncommunal bathrooms. So,
for those of you who visited off-
campus houses for various cele-
brations of life: realize a bush is
not a good place to empty ele-
ments of intoxication; rather, a
trash can is a much more suitable
place and will just make the
aftermath a much easier situation
to deal with. And remember,
reality, cleaning, and unregis-
tered parties arc what the off-
campus experience is all about.

Main sophomores were thrown into extreme
depression. "I'm sad." confided Jill Dyer. The
counseling center was forced to offer a hotline
to help them cope with disappointments. The
policies had a great effect on the lives of class
members. "I'm definiteh a closet drinker now."
confessed Jenny Bruckman. A disgruntled Jessi-
ca Kahn said. "Clustering unfairly lore me away
from my soul mates and threw me into a bunch
of monster strangers." Stephen Feeley had a
hard time dealing with the closing of B & E. "It
was like having a relative die." he said. "I'm
very bitter about not being able to utilize the
pasta bar." grumbled Tyson Kade. "I never
thought I'd say this, but I really miss the Com-
mons." The sophomore class valiantly tried to
come back from these set backs, some hoping
for a full recovery.

here was but one great
advantage to being a
sophomore at David-
son College. The
housing. The fresh-
men could not wait to run to the
Residence Life Office and find
that their lottery numbers were
well beyond one thousand and that
they, like so many satisfied stu-
dents before them, would be
awarded a room in Irwin, Knox, or
Akers. Known as "Down the Hill,"
"Sophomoresville," "Sophomore
Year Abroad," "The Bermuda Tri-
angle," or "My Life in a Broom
Closet," No matter how you col-
ectively referred them, a year in
the sophomore dorms was a truly
unique experience.

Far from Chambers, the Union,
and really far from the library, the
sophomore dorms provided its res-
idents with countless opportuni-
ties to get to know each other well
as it was just too far to go any-
where else. Near Patterson Court,
sophomores living down the hill
always knew when there was a
party. Being able to hear music
coming from any other room in the

dorm, as well as from the Court, it
was rarely difficult to sniff out
some form of entertainment.

Among the other advantages to
living in the sophomore dorms,
there was no need for more than
one alarm clock per hall, as your
neighbor's buzzer was clearly
audible through the sturdy cinder
block walls. Phones became obso-
lete down the hill — if you just
raised your voice ever so slightly,
your message would reverberate
throughout the dorm. Most sopho-
mores felt that not having a sink in
their rooms was not a negative
aspect, as sinks always got
clogged up, and Physical Plant did
not discover the dorms' existence
until late March, making mainte-
nance difficult, if not impossible.
A resident of Akers, Katherine
Welling, raved, "The parking is
good. Indeed, you were closer to
satellite than you ever dreamed."

Obviously, it was impossible
for a year in the sophomore dorms
not to be the greatest year of your
Davidson career.

f. credit. Usually, freshmen had
3t of fun winning and losing
ties, establishing rivalries, and
iding with their teammates. But,
ie got a little carried away and
t didn't know when to let those
lings die. Similar to the glory
rs of high school sports, many
nted to go on reliving their
kerball experiences by reuniting
ir freshman hall teams.
Caroline Carpenter, a member of
4th Rich revival team was one
:h sophomore. "What can I say?
; the sport of champions — it's
• life. Flickerball is the reason
ame back my sophomore year."
milar sentiments were felt
members of the 2nd Little
ival team. Jen Leaman enthusi-

astically extolled, "Flickerball just
rocks. We were such a bunch of
bad asses; we couldn't pass up the
opportunity to repeat the season."
Attitudes like those of such
obsessed players intimidated many
freshman teams.

In addition, most revival teams
were serious enough to make up t-
shirts in order to instill even more
team spirit. "I love wearing that t-
shirt," said Stephanie Davis.
"Every time I get it back from the
laundry I put it on again." Some
teams didn't even draw the line
with uniforms, but felt it was nec-
essary to compile play books. Were
those people crazed flickerball
junkies who needed to make use of
the counseling center? Hard to say.
Make of it what you will, but all
four teams in the women's champi-
onships were repeat performers.

How To Be Obsessed

1 . Bring fans to every game.

2. Design your own uniform.

3. Try to make menacing noises at the

4. Have parents fly in to watch you play.

5. Plan team dinners/strategy sessions.

6. Make up a nasty motto.

7. Make flickerball practice your F. A. C.

IT'S A

MIXED UP

SCENE

When asked for feelings about
the Davidson love scene, most
sophomores responded. "What lo\ e
scene?" After having a year to
scout out the options, they still felt a
little confused. Eddie Gordon
summed up his sentiments. '"It's a
mixed up scene. More often than
not. it's more trouble than it's
worth." A lot of the action concen-
trated on meaningless physical con-
tact. "It's a scam scene." stated
Alexis West. Katie Tobin agreed,
"It's like strangers passing in the
night."

Not everybody was that lucky.
Some were just wishing they had

more action in the bedroom. Bil

Gullan complained. "Wh\ doesn't
am thing ever happen to me?" Delia
Hardin wasn't satisfied either. "I'm
looking for more men'" she
bragged.

The other breed at Davidson was
the married couple. To many, this
t) pe appeared completely obsessed
with each other, but they professed
happiness. Jane Stubbs claimed her
boyfriend got "cuter everyday."
Jason Byassee said, "We just enjoy
each other, so people think we're
together all the time."

Dorm Rooms

Home or Hook Up?

The sophomore year was the
year of the dorm room. You had
your roommate puked out waj
ahead so you could plan vour new
room all summer. One got the
refrigerator while the other
sprung for the microwave Room
themes were planned and the
home decorator came out in them
all. Given the first chance to
design a living area guvs and girls
went about it with very different
ideas. Girls strove for the "just
like home" feeling while guys
tried for the "party room" or
"hook up parlor." Eddie Gordon
created the "chill out motif."
while Jack Slauson "focused the
whole room around the combo of
the T.V. and recliner." Jeff Kent
described his room as a theater.
"With modern technology like
remote controls and pledges." he
said, "there's no reason to leave
vour seat." Slauson commented

on the sexes' different room
setups: "Girls always have one
couch and onlj one couch. Guys
try to pack in as much as they
can."

On the other hand, girls, who
were treed from the nailed-to-the-
wall effect of Richardson, were
excited to be able to arrange their
belongings. "Instead of the clutter
of guys' rooms." said Sarah Web-
ster, "girls go for one idea." "We
centered our room around the
disco ball." explained Ashley
Hollweg. Claiming Laura Ashley
as a primary source of ideas. Liz
Lockett said. "We had a theme:
College with Class. It produced a
verv homey feeling."

Because of the time spent on
them, dorm rooms became a real
expression of self, sometimes
telling more about a person than
we wanted to know .

PROCRASTINATION!

hunks (0 all the entic-
ing extractions of the
Davidson campus,
procrastination was
the defining feature for many stu-
dents. Perhaps the most famous and
widely used excuse was the "Union
run." Where else could you waste
time with Other students also search-
ing for a reason, any reason, not to
study? When

your friends

wondered wh\

you never did

any work, it

sounded a lot

better to say. "I've been at the

Union." rather than. "I stared blankly

at a wall for a few hours."

One particularly unmotivated stu-
dent argued that procrastination was
her way of organizing projects in her
head before beginning them. Miller
Cary said, "Proper procrastination
takes a certain skill. I can say this

because procrastination is my life."
Philip Ewing commented, "Every-
one needs to be good at something.
.Vis roommate, for example, is good
at nothing, hut he procrastinates like
a true master." Scott Boyd epito-
mized the "put it off" attitude when
asked to comment, "Sure, I'll give
you a quote, but not now. I'll do it
later."

Some argued
that procrastina-
tion was a plague
eating away at the
American work
ethic, but any sane
college student would tell you that it
was completely necessary for sur-
vival. In fact, many psychologists
believed frequent procrastination
was an absolute sign of unshakable
mental health. After all, procrastina-
tion was only a natural human
action.

MAJOR MAJOR STRESS

Sophomore year was full of
choices and decisions Should 1

"Should I do laundr) tins month?"'
"Should 1 gel the nachos or pizza at
the Outpost?" Should I go to Car-
olina Cones or Ben & Jerry's?"
"What should I do tor the rest of"
m\ life?" "What should I major
in7'

The question of a major was a
little more important for sopho-
mores than these other questions.
There were several different wor-
ries concerning how to make such
a monumental decision. For exam-
ple, Sara Lyn Goodman explained,
"I decided I wanted to go to France,
so I figured I'd be a French major."
Another popular decision-making

strategy was summarized bj lefl

Kent He advised, "Just take \our
class with the highest GPA and
there's your major."

Once the decision of a major
was made, the stress still contin-
ued. Then, sophomores had to
choose an advisor in the subject
area of their major. Jennifer Bean
said of asking a professor to be her
advisor, "I felt like I was in junior
high asking to go out with some-
one, 'Will you be my advisor?'"'

Sophomores who lived through
the traumatic experience of select-
ing a major and an advisor, went on
to be juniors with, unfortunately,
just as many important and life-
changing decisions.

Frosh 101: My Time Had Come ...

My time had ciiinc — freshman
orientation was upon me. I ike the
blind leading the blind, my parents
and i fumbled amidst the herds of
clueless freshmen, trying to find
the entrance to the Union. We
entered a side door onl\ to find a
sign reading. "Two more hours 'til
studying begins." "Alas." I
thought, " a premature glimpse of
hell "

As I fol-
lowed suit
toward the line
of freshmen
getting name
tags slapped
on them, I saw
another line of

even more freshmen waiting to get
in. Wondering why they didn't use
the same entrance I did, I heard
talk of the "first kiss at Davidson."
which I had apparently failed to
receive at the main entrance. "Fab-
ulous. I just missed my first kiss
and probably got my first honor
code violation at the same time."

As the pathetic line of frosh
trailed through the Union, we each
had the pleasure of having our first
picture taken at Davidson. Natu-

"With luck, we can

anonymously."

rally, this was the same ID pic
ture we were expected to cam
until we were old. decrepit
seniors. My second picture, taken
two minutes later, was even
worse, as I wore a straw hat. held
a hoola-hoop and had a plastic
hammer in mj hands, and had a
sign saying, "1 love hot dogs"
around my neck. Besides standing
as evidence of our humility, the
purpose of this
second picture is
still a mystery to
me.

In reflection, I
realize how idiot-
ic my over-analy-
sis of all of the
days' events was. But at the time,
the only solace I found was in
numbers. Boasting the largest
class at Davidson, the Class of '97
had lots of fellow frosh who could
share those obstacles and humilia-
tions. With luck, we could blend
into the masses and make our mis-
takes anonymously. Whether for
better or for worse, our time had
passed we could look back on the
crises of freshman year with grins
on our faces and sighs of relief.

and Chuck Grunt live dorm life to the fullest.

With a record freshmen class,
many men had to triple up in Belk
and Little. According to Thomas
Daniel, IV, a tripler, "We were
messy as hell, but at least I finally
met someone from Wisconsin."
Most freshmen triples grappled to
find something positive in an other-
wise difficult situation. Aside from
having three people in a tiny living
space, roommating was typical of
most other schools with its friend-
ships and difficulties.

The first three weeks were devoid
of any social scene, so freshmen life
centered
around the
halls. While
this three
week peri-
o d was
counted
down with great anticipation, it
offered a unique opportunity for
hallmates to get to know each other
before immersing themselves in
Patterson Court. The men of Belk,
holding the largest number of guys,
thought themselves the Mecca of
this "holding period." They hoped
girls would flock to their abode.
Well, if anything, the centralized
location allowed them to flock easi-
ly to Cannon and Rich (if the girls

hand, had sanitation on its side; it
was notoriously cleaner than
Belk and seemed to maintain a
better stench. Regardless, hall
life in both Belk and Little was
full of unique and new experi-
ences. One hall in Belk had a bat
flying around. Several members
from Third East kept in shape by
playing rounds of hall-golf, even
though it was frowned upon by
the Residence Life Office due to
the number of broken windows.
It was activities such as these
which
helped
to keep
life hu-
morous
during
the slow
weekends and hectic exam peri-
ods.

As much fun as the freshmen
year was with the excitement of
Patterson Court hall life, and
surviving away from home, most
Belk and link- residents would
have been glad to leave the
flights of stairs and small rooms.

No, members of triples were not

were learning organization and dis-

Not all freshmen agreed with Ter-
ry's point of view. "It's hard to he-
accurate with the Myers-Briggs
test because a lot of people aren't
true with themselves about who
they are," said Robert Coffee. "It
could help, but it's probably not
exact enough."

What exactly ira.s politi-
cal science? Sounded
boring, so why was it
such a popular major?
Despite some excruci-
atingly dry course titles, political
science was one of the most current,
relevant, and interesting subjects at
Davidson. This was evident in the
constant focus on current affairs and
new theories among departmental
faculty, and it was their efforts to
bring those developments into the
classrooms that attracted so many
majors. Two seniors agreed the
main reason to major in political
science was the accessibility and
talent of the faculty (not to mention
their spiffy outfits).

The department was led by Chair
Dr. Tom Kazee. He specialized in
American politics, and set a stan-
dard for the rest of the faculty to fol-
low both in and out of the class-
room, not to mention at departmen-
tal get-togethers. As well as his nor-
mal classes, Kazee also taught a
popular new seminar entitled South-
ern Politics. Dr. Mary Thornberry,
another Americanist, continued to

focus her courses on traditionally
under represented groups, especial-
ly women and minorities. The
newest addition to the Americanists
(as well as to the department as a
whole) was Dr. Susan Roberts.
Roberts, a transplant from Furman,
received rave reviews after her first
year.

International and comparative

Despite some excruci-
atingly dry course
titles, political science
was one of the most
current, relevant, and
interesting subjects at
Davidson.

politics were handled by Drs. Lou
Ortmayer, Jack Perry, Shelley Rig-
ger, and Dianne Portelance. Ort-
mayer was recognized for his out-
standing teaching abilities when her
received the North Carolina CASE
Award for excellence in the class-
room, and continued to stun his stu-
dents and peers with his seemingly

limitless knowledge of global
events. Perry, a retired ambassador
who also directed the Dean Rusk
Program, moonlighted among the
political scientists and used his
experiences overseas to teach
American Foreign Policy. Teaching
for her first year at Davidson was
Dr. Shelley Rigger, a Harvard grad
who had recently successfully
defended her dissertation. Rigger
specialized in East Asian affairs,
especially Taiwan and China. Final-
ly, Dr. Dianne Portelance, who spe-
cialized in comparative politics, left
Davidson after the school year.

The final component of the
department was made up by the two
political theorists. Dr. Peter Ahrens-
dorf and Dr. Brian Shaw. While the
two were sometimes overheard
speaking wistfully of the Philoso-
phy department, their contributions
in the classroom were invaluable.
Shaw spent his spring semester in a
new seminar that examined the
function of the welfare state, and
Ahrensdorf led the summer David-
son in Washington program.

Those responsible for this miser)

their secondary responsibilities.
Anthropology:

Dr. Nancy Fairle>. a first year

to begin an investigation of a
Reconstruction era rebellion led by
Lumbee Indians and recently freed
African sla\es

Dr. Grant Jones, co-recipient of a
National Science Foundation grant
for an archaeological study of the
1 7th century Maya capitals, traveled
to Peten. Guatemala during the
summer of 1994. He was also com-
pleting a book on the 1697 Spanish
conquest of the Itza Mayas.

Dr. Bill Rinsle recei\ed a grant to

Dr. Rosemary Zumwalt partici-
pated in various investigations of
Sephardic folk religion resulting in
a book and several articles in
anthropological journals. She and
her husband also received a grant to
study the Sephardic community in
Sarajevo.
Sociology:

Dr. Bob Ruth received the Mar-
garet Lang Willis Award for the
Outstanding Criminal Justice Edu-

cator ol the Year. At the Academy
of Criminal Justice Sciences in
Chicago, he ottered a workshop
entitled. "Guns. Bombs, and God:
Typologies of Religious Terror-
ism." which focused on internation-
al and domestic terrorism

Dr. Lakshmanan "Lucky" Sabar-
atnam chaired a committee on Asian
immigrants at a Cornell University
conference. He also published arti-
cles on aspects of Sri Lankan
women, including immigration,
coping strategies, and educational
attainment. His other interests
included parachuting from moun-
tains in New Zealand.

Dr. Janet Shannon participated in
a first-time joint class with Johnson
C. Smith University entitled "Com-
munity Building: Charlotte." which
involved four aspects of community
building: literature, sociology, his-
tory. and economics. She also
supervised several community ser-
vice projects related to the course.

ur beloved Math
Department went
through some changes
in the 1993-94 school
year, much of it hav-
ing to do with technology. One of
the primary changes was the addi-
tion of the graphing calculator in the
calculus classroom by Drs. Richie
King and Ben Klein. The addition of
computer technology had greatly
expanded the move to reform calcu-
lus. "Davidson will be a force in the
evolution of calculus rather than the
revolution." Dr. King said.

Dr. Irl Bivens adopted a lecture-
free format for his Calculus II sec-
tions, and issued a 1-2 page study
guide for the upcoming class ses-
sion. His goal was to have the class
actually read the text (unheard of),
think for themselves, and under-
stand the math. Class time was spent
discussing problems and asking
questions. Dr. Bivens received
applause from the class on the final
day. Bravo!

Another departmental innova-
tions was the addition of Dr. Klein

to the short list of professors of
probability, since Dr. Bruce Jackson
was the only other professor who
taught the course. Dr. Richard Nei-
dinger used APL in Numerical
Analysis and TrueBasic Graphics in
the Analysis Seminar on Fractals.
Dr. Steve Davis helped create the
Extended Calculus class which
allowed more time for students who

cal revolution, sometimes

needed it to understand calculus. He
also added the Scheme version of
the LISP language to the Program-
ming and Problem Solving course,
and brought a brand new First Edi-
tion text to the Abstract Algebra I
class.

Dr. Donna Molinek renovated the
modeling class from strictly biolog-
ical models to a general study of
models. Even the new guy. Dr.

Todd Will, got in on the wave of
change and added Mathematica to
the list of programming environ-
ments used in the programming
class.

Dr. J. B. Stroud over the years
had been a quiet pioneer and used
modified Moore method of lecture
which indeed involved student pre-
sentation and discussion of prob-
lems. Even though he may have
been computer challenged, he
emphasized that computers were
only useful when the math in the
machine was understood. So even
with the technological revolution,
sometimes the pencil was mightier

That hallowed, yet
feared shrine we knew
as the Martin Sciences
Building housed the
Davidson College
Chemistry Department. In it,
chemists and clones of chemists,
i. e., students, labored tirelessly on
research, learning, and good for-
tune. Those who were imprisoned
by the sarcastic smile of the facility
would attest to the department's
underlying pursuit of perfection.

Whether it was Dr. Nutt's scare
tactics of an 8:15am class that
instilled fear into the hears of unsus-
pecting freshmen, or Dr. Carroll's
jokes that sometimes weren't, the
faculty gave students the late-night
study break topics that bred procras-
tination. That whipper-snapper
Organic stud, Dr. Rhea, ran the
show with the high-tech NMR
machine, while the rookie, Dr.
Blauch, played with clay (er, um,
inorganic material). Dr. Burnett
plotted the torment of anyone who
dared the challenge of a 121 class.

But the fun didn't end with
exams. Nearly every professor
exploited the cheap labor of under-
graduate peons to help with research
during the summer. Dr. "Basket-
ball" Schuh, managed to keep the
hired help busy with Biochemical
works. And Dr. Beeston busied her
workers — summer, spring, and fall
— in the Experimental Techniques
labs.

"That hallowed, yet feared
shrine we knew as the Mar-
tin Sciences Building ... "

All in all, the hustle and bustle of
the Chemistry department ebbed
and flowed with the advent and
passing of reviews and problem
sets. Whether it be General, Organ-
ic. Physical, or some other mon-
strous creation, not a waking
moment passed that the building
was relaxed.

conomics is the study of
allocating scarce re-
sources among unlimit-
ed and competing needs
and uses. Economists
had become indispensable to the
world's econoim as nations strove
to meet heightening expectations
and sustain burgeoning populations
amidst dwindling resources and en-
vironmental decay. At Davidson,
the popularity of economics could
not be singularly attributed to its
practical application — the teaching
prowess of the faculty was a ke> de-
terminant of the strength of the eco-
nomics program.

Chair Dr. Clark Ross taught mi-
cro-theory, labor economics, eco-
nomic systems, and U. S. economic
history. Noted for his uniquely flat
drawl. Dr. Ross was proud of his
majors and had a lot of confidence
in them.

Dr. Dennis Appleyard, the de-
partment's international specialist,
taught macro-theory and interna-
tional trade theory. Dr. Peter Hess
taught economic development, pop-

ulation economics, macro-theory,
and international finance. He was
well known lor the comprehensive
and thorough nature of his lectures,
and expected similar dedication
from his students — as some found
out the hard way.

Dr. Glenn Lindsey taught two
levels of accounting and business
law . His lectures centered on a ques-
tion-answer basis so that students

remained alert during class and got
their debits and credits in order.

Dr. Vikram Kumar, alwavs scrup-
ulously dressed with coffee mug in
hand, was a very curious man with a
penchant for asking questions. Stu-
dents found his courses interesting
and manageable. The champion of
Davidson recycling. Dr. David Mar-
tin, was keenly interested in student
progress. His course in statistics

was considered by many to be one
of the ultimate hurdles of their ma-
jor. Dr. Martin received a Fulbrighl
to teach in India during the 1994-95
school year.

Dr. Alison Wellington, the only
female in the department, was a spe-
cialist in gender wage inequality. .
and will be remembered for her se-
nior session lecture in which she in-
sisted that female basketball coach-
es ought to make as much as their

Honor from Davidson in 1985.

"Sometimes at night I wake
up and philosophize ...
Then I go back to sleep. "

- Dan Duncan '97

"The value of philosophy
is, in fact to be sought
largely in its very uncer-
tainty. The man who has no
tincture of philosophy goes
through life imprisoned in
the prejudices derived from
common sense, from the
habitual beliefs of his age
or his nation, and from
convictions which have
grown up in his mind with-
out the cooperation or con-
sent of his deliberate rea-
son. ...As soon as we begin
to philosophize, on the con-
trary we find that even the
most everyday things lead
to problems to which only
very incomplete answers
can be given. Philosophy,
though unable to tell us
with certainty what is the
true answer to the doubts
which it raises, it is able to
suggest many possibilities
which enlarge our thoughts
and free them from the
tyranny of custom. Thus,
while diminishing our feel-
ing of certainty as to what
things are, it greatly
increases our knowledge as
to wliat they may be ... and
it keeps alive our sense of
wonder by showing famil-
iar things in an unfamiliar
aspect. "

The jewel in the crown of
the German major at

its year abroad in
Wurzburg, Germany.
That year provided a forum for the
students to learn/improve/perfect
(depending upon to whom one was
referring) their spoken German, a
chance to clear up once and for all
those nasty "schein" cognates. We
learned quickly by embarrassing
experience that:

1 . If a guy tries to kiss you on the
first date, he is not "frisch." A per-
son isn't "frisch," newly-baked
bread from Koesner is.

2. If your host father (Susan) is
looking snazzy for your going away
party, do not tell him he looks
"scharf." You are telling him he
looks horny \

3. If the hero of a Schiller drama
performs a courageous act, do not
describe him as "brav." A puppy
obeys the sit command "brav." Wil-
helm Tell is not.

4. If you wish to describe your guest
mother's aggressive driving of her
Mercedes on the Autobahn, do not
say that she drove "fast." She almost
drove?

tation to empty a crate of beer, do

aggression. However, anyone tak-

this was tar from the truth, as class-

racism, from motivation to mental
illness.

Dr. Ruth Ault. a child develop-
ment specialist, introduced her stu-
dents to the joys of research with
children. She also taught a seminar
on Gender Identity, in which gender
roles and norms were explored
through literature.

Dr. Cole Barton focused on clini-
cal psychology, and he guided stu-
dents through courses in Abnormal
Psychology. Personality, and
Behavioral Science. As if dealing
with stressed-out Davidson students
was not enough, Dr. Barton also
kept busy with his own clinical
practice at Carolinas Child & Fami-

teach at Davidson. An industrial/
organizational psychologist, she
also expertly guided students
through Research Design and
Analysis, otherwise fondly known

as statistics. |)i MacNeil also
taught a seminar on Motivation in
Work Settings, helping Davidson
students learn how to apply their
vast amounts of knowledge to the
"real world."

Dr. Ed Palmer chaired the psy-

effects of television violence on

Children & Television.

Dr. Julio Ramirez specialized in

assisted him in this research by
adopting their very own rats and
examining their reactions to brain

of Art in New York. Cort Savage
brought the medium of sculpture to
Davidson and fascinated all with his
intricate "performing" constructions
in the faculty exhibition. In figura-
tive paintings focusing on rhythm
and composition, Russ Warren
painted with his passions on his
sleeve — Picasso and horses.

The three art history professors,
Larry Ligo, Nina Serebrennikov,
and Shaw Smith, began a new tradi-
tion at Davidson with the guest lec-
ture series on the history of art.
They brought such notable art histo-
rians as Albert Elsen, Carol Duncan,
and Paul Tucker for the lecture pro-
gram, and also helped bring several

other lecturers including Leo Stein-
berg, the 1994 Reynolds speaker.
Dr. Ligo spent lus yeai exploring
new areas ol interest such as 19th
century painting and England. Dr.
Ligo planned to take Davidson's
first art history trip to England in the
spring of 1995.

Nina Serebrennikov spent her
spring teaching a group of crazed
Davidsonians on the art histor\ trip
to Italy. Using Rome as a home
base, she took the students to sites
such as Florence, Venice, and Rav-
enna. Still recovering from the
spring 1993 trip to France, Shaw
Smith continued work on a book
about Delacroix's landscapes and
researched topics for his new book

"The art department's six
professors moved from the
cramped office and studio
cubby holes of Cunning-
ham to the luxurious spac-
es of the VAC "

on French art. Over the summer of
1994, Dr. Smith hosted the alumni
trip to France.

With the construction of the new
VAC, its excellent facilities and
very own Rodin, and arts related
lectures, the 1993-94 school year
became "Davidson's year for the
arts" and everyone hoped it would
continue to thrive.

"Sometimes it's hard to

six different lenses. "

"You could say that the

programs from which to choose.
Reach Out 1993-94 boasted over 20

other hands-on projects like Habitat

The Reach Out program Davidson

Together sponsored the community
dinner then and every year so that
students and townspeople could
come together for food and fellow-
ship. Between Reach Out and Gigi
Cooke, our Service Coordinator, all
students could find outlets for their
specific talents. Through volunteer
service work, many Davidson stu-
dents directed their energies into
building the Davidson and Charlotte
communities, and Reach Out was
always ready to support them.

UNION

ACtiviTIES

ince 1952 the Davidson
College Union had been
serving the college com-
munity through valuable
services and consistently
creative, challenging pro-
grams. In the 1993-94
school year, the Union
staff and the Union Board provided over 300
events, ranging from Greek cooking work-
shops to sexuality forums to rafting trips with
Davidson Outdoors. Although many students
tended to identify the Union as a place to
grab a Coke between classes, the brilliant
minds at work in the depths of the College
Union ensured that a variety of exciting and
educational events were always available for
the entire college community.

Activities such as 21 year old night, films,
the Outpost's Jumpin' Java Cafe, IPC's
Blues Monday, and Tuesday morning Coffee
House gave everyone consistent Union pro-
grams to look forward to on a regular basis.
The Union Board also worked hard to make
big weekends, such as Midwinters and
Spring Frolics, fun and entertaining for
everyone. With bands like Tlte Samples and
Jackopierce, and events such as the campus
wide International Ball during Spring Frol-
ics, everyone on campus had an opportunity
to come together and celebrate these David-
son traditions. The popularity of Day at the
Lake, co-sponsored with SGA and PCC. sug-
gested that it would also become an annual
tradition as well.

Although the Union was an important
source of entertainment at Davidson, the

Board also strove to provide educational pro-
gramming to compliment the academic cur-
riculum. Speakers such as Chai Ling and
Timothy Leary. and events such as the
African American Dance Ensemble and
Urban Bush Women provided insight into
various cultures. For those students seeking
artistic refinement, the Artists Series Com-
mittee prepared a spectacular line-up. includ-
ing performances of Sunday in the Park with
George and Cabaret, and the Gallery Com-
mittee kept the walls of the Union filled with
a variety of artwork from students and local
artists. Solidarity Week '94 featured fifteen
different programs, which celebrated the
coming together of a diversity of individuals.

These events were just a small sample of
the hundreds of activities the Union handled.
In addition to programming, the Union also
provided many valuable services for the col-
lege through the efforts of a dedicated staff of
student employees. Some of these services
included intercampus mail, the game room,
the information desk, an indoor climbing
wall, and the publication of The Flyer.

Each year, the College Union strove to
bring the Davidson community a little closer
together while encouraging individuality and
diversity. In an effort to help the Union meet
these needs, a Union Planning Committee
was formed in 1993 to work towards a new-
College Union. The large amount of support
for this project indicated the importance of
the Union to the Davidson community and
offered an enthusiastic glimpse into its
future.

Even though Connor func-
tioned as a "house." it was the
individuals within Connor who
made it special. Then various
interests and activities gave
Connor a diversity of which to
he quite proud.

And although the founding
members of Connor House grad-

strong legacy. Their vision and
determination were greatly
appreciated as the underclass-
men carried on the tradition.

social life, several house members
managed to run the school newspa-

per, the Honor Council, and some
other things. But more importantly,
the house's parties were full - from
Homecoming to Barn Dance with
Dean Terry to Old South at Fripp
Island. The house said goodbye to
its seniors, could not wait for them
to return a couple of times, and
looked forward to the next year.

The l"" i school year was
another outstanding year tor the
Delta Chapter of Kappa Sigma. We
were well represented throughout
Davidson's social, academic and
athletic leadership. The success of
the annual Home Runs for Habitat
and MAD 13 Run maintained our
established commitment to excel-
lence in community service. With
an average exceeding one social
function per week. Kappa Sigma
secured itself as a dominant force on
Patterson Court. We mourned the
loss of "The Captain." and could
only hope that he was making little

children happy at some McDonald's
playground or brightening up the
evidence room at a local police sia
lion. In time he would undoubtedly
be replaced by some other figure —
maybe even a Rodin. Davidson
Kappa Sig"s were recognized as
being the true Southern gentlemen
on campus, and we took great pride
in our ability to stay out of trouble.

The Phi Delta Theta fraternity
enjoyed another successful and
memorable year. The brothers were
enthusiastic leaders in a wide range
of campus activities.

The North Carolina Gamma
chapter of Phi Delta Theta was one
of the most eclectic houses at
Davidson, with members coming
from as far north as Minnesota and
as far south as Venezuela. The chap-
ter boasted thirty-three varsity ath-
letes, distinguishing themselves on
the football, baseball, wrestling,
tennis, golf, and swimming teams.
Phi Delts were also active in other
campus organizations. Our Presi-
dent was elected Patterson Court

President, and other brothers served
on the SGA, on the CCRL, as hall
counselors, and in ROTC. The
chapter's strong pledge class
undoubtedly continued the proud
tradition.

The chapter hosted successful
Homecoming, Midwinters, Spring
Frolics, and Ladies' Night parties.
And once again, the campus looked
forward to Phi Delt's AIRBAND.

As the brothers strove to continue
their unique combination of acade-
mics, campus leadership, and fun,
the future looked bright for Phi
Delta Theta!

The purpose of the Black Student
Coalition was threefold: 1) to pro-
mote solidarity among African
Americans; 2) to make the campus
aware of the contributions made by
African Americans; and 3) to pro-
mote cultural awareness and diver-
sity.

The Black Student Coalition was
open to everyone. We were

involved in a variety of community
service projects. We had fundraisers
to help out other nonprofit organiza-
tions, as well as to improve condi-
tions in the house. The BSC also
sponsored parties with other organi-
zations and helped out with the var-
ious special events that took place
on campus.

year, especially receiving the Patter-

main embers involved in such activ-
ities as \arsit\ sports, the Davidson-
ian. SGA. the College Union, arts
and drama, it's ama/mg we found
time to devote to service projects, as
well as an occasional party.

We started out the year with Des-
tination Unknown (Coyote Joe's).
Policeman's Brawl followed, which
included the sounds of Everything.
Christmas Cocktail provided us with
a relaxing time just before exams.
Self-Selection was a night to
remember (for those of us who actu-
all\ IX) remember it!). Angels and
devils revealed themselves at Heav-

en and Hell, and we said good-bye to
our awesome seniors at Senioi 1 for-
mal. Of course, tradition also
brought us Cheeseburger in Par-
adise. Long Neck Red Neck, and
Ladies Lock-In.

Cindy, Pegg\. Geneva, and our
kitchen managers provided with
great new recipes and themes, as
well as traditional favorites.

Ruskies devoted time to worth)
causes including Habitat for

families in the community. Also.

tensity. Oaig King and Tim Caldwell seem rather earnest as they hang out on the PiKA

Two words: Frat Guys. Yet
another illustrious year for the Beta
Chapter. Our parties were rivaled by
none: 70s party, Dream Girl, Band
Du Jour, Everything, Blues Old
Stand, The Mundahs, From Good
Home, Beach Party, Sausage Party,
Menudo, Tesla (Acoustic), Bri-
tany Fox, The Village People,
Chaka Khan, and Zamfir and His
Magic Flute. As always, our parties
drew crowds of Gaussian propor-
tions; nevertheless, as the Physical
Plant will be happy to inform you,
we were first in the house condi-
tions ratings.

How cool were we? Well, we
boasted the SGA president, both
student solicitors, a student defense
advisor, ten hall counselors over a
. two-year period, the PCC treasurer,
the Rooster, 23 varsity athletes,
Guinness book record holder for the

most Spam consumed in 20 min-
utes, four ROTC men, a manager of
the Davidsonian, the most chem-
istry majors, coordinator of the
Phonathon, the Rooster, the most
members of Phi Beta Kappa of any
fraternity, an overall GPA of 3.0
plus. But the bottom line is that we
had campus pride like a one-legged
kick boxer all year. In short, to
quote Dean Terry, "those Pikes are
chiefs among indians."

Captain Pike Dog brought us to a
previously unattained level in com-
munity service. Nevertheless, we
planned to press on, doing more
good will and acts of random kind-
ness than one thought humanly pos-
sible. In closing, a special thanks to
Dr. Rhea, Captain Pike Dog, and
John Booty for his services.

The true gentleman of Sigma
Alpha Epsilon returned to Patterson
Court and made a strong impart
after our infamous yeai abroad,

picking up where we left off. We
received the Distinguished Service

Award at Fall Convocation, and
continued to provide the community
with strong support through our
numerous service projects. The
brothers of SAH were involved in
the Big Brother/Little Brother and A
Time to Read programs. We spent
many hours at the homeless shelter
sorting clothes and serving meals.
SAK also helped sponsor the Sec-
ond Annual Fun Run during Greek
Week to benefit Easter Seals. The
elder folks at Huntersville were
once again blessed with our immac-
ulate voices every Wednesday
night. We also held two Bike-a-
Thons benefiting the Muscular Dys-
trophy Association. Our service
endeavors were once again
unequaled by any other house on the
Court, as we raised an unprecedent-

ed amount during Phonathon for the

college. The SAI Chant) calendar
also raised ovei $6,000, providing
the Davidson College Library with
approximate^ 60 new books.

The social scene at the House of
Minerva was untouched by other
houses on Patterson Court as we
hosted numerous bands, survived
several blowouts, such as Tacky
Party and our Annual Halloween
Party. But who could forget other
bashes like Homecoming. Casino
Party, Midwinters, and Spring Frol-
ics. It was amazing we all survived
those weekends.

Fellowship and brotherhood were
never ending at the hoddy house.
We were a group like no other on
campus, and continued to be the
tightest knit group on the Court. We
would like to thank the Alumni
Committee, consisting of James
Combs, Jim Richards, and Cabe
Loring as they helped guide us
through another outstanding year.

Some said the days of fraternities
at Davidson were numbered. That
might have been true, but it would
have been difficult to get rid of them
if they had lived up to the standard
set by Sig Ep. The brothers were a
driving force in almost every facet
of Davidson life. Their leadership
could be seen by their roles in the
Honor Council, SGA, varsity athlet-
ics, and Davidson Outdoors. Com-
munity service was exemplary serv-
ing Habitat for Humanity and the
Multiple Sclerosis 150. That leader-
ship was recognized by the Patter-
son Court Excellence in Service
award.

With all this work some were still
amazed by Sig Ep's ability to live
up to the college's unofficial motto,
"Work hard, play hard." Again, the
brothers dominated the scene with
their Champagne Pajama and Eight-
ies parties.

The food could not be topped
either. With the culinary skills of
Dennis and Dixie, the brotherhood
ate better than any house on the
Court. How many houses boasted
fresh shrimp, steak, and swordfish
cooked on a real grille?

Sig Ep lost some of its best and
brightest to graduation, but the fra-
ternity was not at a loss for leader-
ship. The twenty-three best men of
the freshman class pledged in 1994
and would surely live up to Sig Ep's
tradition of excellence and brother-
hood.

The 1993-94 school year unfortu-
nately marked the retirement of
Dean Will Terry, Davidson's and
Sig Ep's most eminent leader. Our
deepest thanks and best wishes were
extended to him.

The team's first victory of the
season was a blowout. The final
score was 42-12 as Davidson
crushed Rhodes. However, the next
week the Wildcats faced the #6
ranked Division III team in the
nation Kmory & Henry gave the
Wildcats a rough time and won 27-

were the games against strong rivals
Washington & Lee, 21-14, and

in eleven years thai Davidson had
beaten < luillord. With a loss to Ran-

the Wildcats bounced back with a
win over Hampden-Sydnev. 21-14.
A sensational victory over
Bridgewater, 55-14, ended the
Wildcats' season. In that game,
senior quarterback Richard Howell
ended his stellar career at Davidson
with a school record of 26 points in
one game (four touchdowns and two
two-point conversions). He went
down in Davidson's history as the

he five year women's program saw

T dramatic changes over its brief his-
tory. The seniors had seen the most

1 prominent changes; as the first

recruited class, they enjoyed watch-
ing the program grow. New uniforms, addition-
al sponsorship, and a new
assistant coach were just a
few of the changes.

Competitive teams such
as Vanderbilt, UNC-G, Rad-
ford, Louisville, and Ken-
tucky were closely matched
with Davidson talents. Each
game, a battle of wills and
intensity, put a strong team
over the top. In the 1 993 sea-
son, Davidson's strength
defeated rivals UNC-G and Louisville, a taste of
success which would outline their future.

Seniors Jenny Satterfield, Susan Taylor,
Courtney Robertson, and Colleen Camaione
remembered past years when they felt trounced
by ACC teams Duke and Maryland. But in the
'93 season, they felt confident in the talent of the
younger players. Recruits from the Midwest,

Ellen Sprinkle's fast feet, Claudia Lombard's
game intensity, and Heather Wineberg's power
left, would lead the 1994 team. With new and
tougher teams on the roster, players were asked
to step up their level of competition right out of
high school. Freshmen
Kelly Ammann, Jen Beebe,
Megan Driscoll, Amy Lind-
strom, and Leslie Greiner
were asked to start for the
Wildcats. Coach Kevin
Hundley and first year assis-
tant coach Brit Arico shuf-
fled the freshmen and the
veterans into various posi-
tions searching for the win-
ning combination. The ver-
satility of the team accented their talents.

A proud honor came to the team with the
naming of Claudia Lombard to the South
Regional team. The women's team was also
ranked in the South for a few weeks during the
season, but the recognition of one player showed
the South that Davidson was a rising competitor,

f the field hockey team

I intended to take the
record at Davidson for
winning the most con-
secutive conference
championships, they were off to a
great start. Expectations were high
for the team having three Deep
South championships under their
belt. Despite losing five All-Confer-
ence seniors and adjusting to nine
new faces, the team lived up to their
reputation. Five players, Erin Lang,
Jill Bennett, Suzanne Hardesty,
Holly Kledis, and Mary Dowd went
on to represent the team at South-
east regionals late last November.
The MVP went to Erin Lang, The
most improved to Nancy Hilles, and
Lindsay O'Nell received the Wild-
cat Award. Although scarce in num-
ber, the four seniors, Erin Lang, Jill

Bennett, Suzanne Hardesty, and
Emily Coleman provided the back-
bone for the team, and are leaving a
difficult precedent for the young
team to uphold. The other teams had
to be lucky to get that small ball past
Emily Coleman. Her performance
placed her sixth in the nation, a
position that will be passed to Mary
Ferguson the following year. With
the seniors retirement, everyone
took a step up and prepared to face
such ACC powers as Duke and
Wake Forest in the upcoming spring
and off-season. The team worked
hard and more importantly, togeth-
er, and in the end, played their best
hockey.

vic "Hut (the Marshall loss) was
prettv indicative of our entire sea-

As was always the case, immedi-
ately following the conclusion of
one season, preparation for the next

CROSS COUNTRY

Whoever said that running was an
individual sport never watched
Davidson's women's cross country
team in action. Except for one race, no more
than thirty seconds elapsed between the first and
fifth team finishers.

Picked to finish second to last in the Southern
Conference pre-season poll, Davidson relied on
its ability to group closely together to place sixth
in the conference meet. Every school but David-
son had at least one runner in the top ten.

Overall, the season was the strongest in years.
The seventh runner finished no slower than the
third or fourth runner of previous years' teams.
The team's depth made it difficult to decide
the year's award winners because several run-
ners were worthy of consideration. The Most
Valuable award went to Carolyn Meadows
while sophomore Phuong Nguyen received the
John F. Patterson Award. The Patterson Award
recognized the runner who made the biggest
improvement in her running and the most posi-
tive contribution to the program. Sophomore
Alicia Dandar received the Coach's Award for
her perseverance and effort throughout the sea-
son.

The strong, season long performance of
junior Erik McMichael highlighted an otherwise

dismal season for the men's team. McMichael's
efforts and steady running of freshman Dave Foss
were not enough to offset a rash of injuries and ill-
nesses which rocked the team. Team captain
McMichael, the only returnee from the 1992 top
five, capped his best cross country season ever by
finishing 15th in the Southern Conference Champi-
onships. For his efforts, McMichael earned the
team's Most Valuable Award.

A lack of experience would not be a problem for
the 1994 season with everyone on the roster return-
ing. The team had the nucleus for a very formidable
top three with McMichael and freshmen Mike
Coyle and Chris Machon. Coyle, despite aggravat-
ing a foot injury, led the team in the first meet of the
season and ran a gutsy race. That injury, along with
a fractured arm incurred while training on a moun-
tain bicycle, eventually sidelined him for the rest of
the season. Machon, also slowed by injury and ill-
ness, won the Cake Race and showed glimpses of
the talent that made him one of the top recruits.
Several other runners had the potential to step up
and make a strong contribution as well. Consisten-
cy in training was the key to their success, and ulti-
mately, the team's (photos courtesy of Sports Info
and Beth Manson).

A. he Davidson women's basket-

as members of the Southern Confer-
ence when they faced the Georgia
Southern Eagles in the first round of
the Southern Conference Tourna-
ment held in Greenville, S.C. The
Eagles, who entered the tournament
as the regular season champion and
number one seed, won the match up,
while the 'Cats finished with a 5-21
record and a number eight seed.
"Against Georgia Southern, we

did the things we had to to keep the
game close," explained Head Coach
John Filar. "This really was one of
the best games for us this season.
All year long, we hustled and fought
hard in our Southern Conference

us one last chance to show everyone
how far we've come this season,
and although it wasn't a win, I
couldn't be more pleased with our

1 he season ended with the Wild-
cats' loss to West Virginia in the
first round of the National Invitation
Tournament at Morgantown, Wesl
Virginia. Disappointment? Sure.
The Wildcats wanted badly to ad-
vance past the first round of the
NIT. That would have added anoth-
er chapter to a story already loaded
with success

Since Davidson began playing
basketball in 1908. only three teams
have won more games than the
1993-94 Wildcats. "When you
weigh it against Davidson's basket-
ball history, the things this team ac-
complished become even more sig-
nificant." said Coach Bob Mc-Kil-
lop. "We won more than 20
games. That's an outstanding
achievement for any team. We won
in our conference (2nd place finish)
and reached the championship game
of the tournament. We won against
the marquee teams on our schedule.

Poise. Janko Narat puts up an outstanding
shot, pulling the team to another victory.

And we were lew aided with an invi
tation ol a post season tournament."
"This is a tribute to the hard work

satile team."

The final Southern Conference
statistics reflected the Wildcats'
versatility. They led the league in
field goal percentage (.483), free
throw percentage (.751), rebound
margin (4.9), and scoring margin
(6. 1 ). They were fourth nationally in
foul shooting.

McKillop earned Southern Con-

ference Coach oi the Year awards
from both the league's coaches and
the SC Media Association. Narat,
who led the team in scoring with a
17.7 average, was named to the All-
Conference team. Sophomore lor
ward Brandon Williams 1 14.4) was
named to the coaches' All-Confer-
ence team. Williams and Narat both
weie on the SC All-Tournament
team.

Although they lost two of then
all-time leading scorers (Narat
ranked eighth with 1 ,539 points and
Zimmerman 16th with 1,260), the
Wildcats had a strong group of re-
turning players. Four starters were
to return, including Williams, a can-
didate for SC player of the year;
George Spain (10.1 average and
64% field goal percentage); Jeff An-
derson, who was the team's best de-
fender; and point guard Chris
Alpert. Additionally, the 'Cats had
one of the league's deepest rosters.
Quinn Harwood averaged 7.9 point
and 4.8 rebounds while playing 22
minutes per game. Freshman Mark
Donnelly also finished strong, aver-
aging 5. 1 in the final eight games.

WRESTLING

In the 1993-94 season, the Wild-
cat wrestling program posted its
best showing in ten years. Paced
by a combination of seasoned veter-
ans and outstanding freshmen, the
'Cats finished 8-17 for the year,
placing fifth in the tough Southern
Conference Tournament. Captains
Sam Knowles (158) and Robbie
Fierro (126) returned from their
junior years abroad to join seniors
Francis Mitchell (150) and Myles
Louria ( 142) in leading the Wildcats
to victories over Georgia Tech,
Longwood, UNCG, and Chicago
State.

Stepping up early, freshman
Miles Miller (167) established him-
self as a contender, winning both the
VMI and the Pensacola Invitational

Tournaments. More impressive,
Miller's third place finish in the
Southern Conference Tournament
earned him Southern Conference
Freshman of the Year honors.

Not to be overshadowed, senior
Sam Knowles quickly returned to
form and led the conference in falls.
With contributions from several
underclassmen — Jason Deaton

he women's tennis team had
another successful year in Southern
Conference play. Although the Cats'
top recruit, Ashley Maner, went down
in mid-season, the senior dominated
team led the Wildcats to success.
Cyndi Hess (#1 singles and #1 dou-
bles), Tasha Ruth (#4 singles and #2
doubles), Susannah Cobb (#6 singles
and #3 doubles), Jennifer Beahm (#5
singles), and Barbara Grooms (#2
doubles) provided the fire power to
battle for the Southern Conference
Championships against a strong Fur-
man team. Although coming up a few

points short in the year end standings
to Furman, Ruth and Beahm both cap-
tured amazing victories to win their
respective single flights at the Confer-
ence Championships.

The team lost a good portion of their
players to graduation, but expected
strong performances from the under-
classmen. According to Assistant
Coach John "Big Dog" Beyer, "These
girls are fighters" (photos by Mike

Netters in 2nd Place

The David: tennis

team provided the college
incredible sporting excite-
ment again in the 1993-94 season.
After coming ofl a close second place
finish to Furman in the 199 J season's
Southern Conference Champi-
onships, the Davidson netters vowed
for re\enge. Led by seniors Russell
Bnggs cl singles and #1 doubles i.
Chns Parker (#3 singles and #3 dou-
bles), and Ryan Harper (#6 singles
and #1 doubles), the team opened the
season by sweeping the annual
Washington and Lee Invitational and
playing well against competition
from both ACC and SEC teams.

As the spring season rolled around.
the Wildcats continued their compet-
itive, fiery play by amassing a nine
match winning streak in mid-season.
With the confidence they had gained
durins the season, the Cats looked

forward to the Southern Conference
Tournament held at Davidson. Al-
though playing well throughout the
tournament, the Cats ended their
season in second place behind not
Furman. but Georgia Southern, with
a record of 5-2. The season ended
especially well for Russell Briggs
who was named to the All-Confer-
ence team and earned the Southern
Conference Player of the Year
award.

Although losing eight seniors to
graduation, the Cats" underclassmen
had learned a lot from their senior
leaders. As a result, the Davidson
men's tennis team would continue
to pursue excellence on the court as
the next year's players attempted to
fill the shoes of such a distinguished
group of athletes (photos courtesy

TRACK AND FIELD

he 1994 Thinclads boasted a
solid pack of athletes and proved
that track was back at Davidson.
Under the direction of women's
head coach, Beth Manson, and
men's head coach, Gary Andrew,
hard work and dedication paid off.
The teams broke several school
records and were competitive in the
Southern Conference.

The women's team carried depth
and talent. The core of the team, a
strong pack of distance runners
improved throughout the season.
Marie Grisez and Sallie Permar
dominated in the half mile. In the
1500m run, Phuong Nguyen, Jean
DeMoss, and Karen Marshall
crushed the competition. Stephanie
Moses, Elizabeth Bishop, and Erin
Roach represented Davidson in the
3000m, 5000m, and the 10,000m
races.

In addition to the harriers, the
field events scored big points for the
women's team. Maria Whitehead
competed in the triple jump and the
400m hurdles, and Lara Burkholder

place in the high jump and earned All-South-

meet in the high jump. In the field
events. Erika Gromelski threw the
shot put and the discus.

The men's team was well repre-
sented by senior co-captain Duncan
Spears. He competed in the 400m
hurdles. Joining Spears in the event
was freshman James Berry. Junior
co-captain Erik McMichael ran the
800m run and Dave Foss and Eric
Collings ran the 5000m and
10,000m races for Davidson. Fresh-
man Eugene Jung threw the shotput.

With a talented group of athletes,
the Davidson thinclads saw excel-
lent performances throughout the
season. Because the teams lost only
three seniors, the 1995 team would
be unstoppable (photos courtesy of

BASEBALL

he Davidson Wildcats closed out the

T1994 baseball season with an 8-6
come from behind win over cross-

county rival UNC-Charlotte. "We

certainly finished on a good note, "
said Head Coach Dick Cooke following the
UNCC game. "We had some
great wins this year. It took
us a while to get our set line-
up because of injuries and
other personnel transactions,
but by season's end, we
proved that we could play
anybody."

"We return some young
pitchers next year who got
better and better as the sea-
son progressed, and hopeful-
ly the leadership qualities of this year's senior
class rubbed off on our young guys."

Jazz Freitas's 24-game hitting streak came to
an end against UNCC. The streak was the
longest in Davidson history breaking the three
week old record of 1 8 set by sophomore Jeff An-
drews.

Jonathan Coulombe's five wins were the most
for a Davidson freshman since Greg Wilcox be-
gan his career with five wins in 1987. Coulombe

"Hopefully, the lead-
ership qualities of this
year's senior class
rubbed off on our
young guys."

— Coach Dick Cooke

walked just four batters in 44 and two thirds in-
nings during the season and finished the year
with a team-best 3.43 ERA.

Brian Heil's five saves were the third highest
single season total in Davidson history. He also
appeared in 24 games — second most in school
history.

Brett Boretti graduated
with Davidson's single sea-
son (20) and career (52) dou-
bles records. He also owned
the single season (16) and
career (23) hit by pitch
records and his .332 career
batting average was the tenth
best in school history.

Jazz Freitas and Paul
Brannan were tied for fourth
in career stolen bases with 38 apiece. Frietas's 21
steals in 1994 were the most since Ron Krnacik
nabbed 22 in 1990.

Clay Hall led the Wildcats in batting average
(.371 ), hits (73), homers (9), slugging percentage
(.558), and on-base percentage (.457) during the
season and came up one hit shy of tying the
school single season hit record (photos by Kestel
and Sam Roberts).

University, UNC, the University of

The years highlights were a sec-
ond place at Clemson in a fleet of
five, and a first place at home out of
seven teams. After the first two
regattas of the season, Davidson
was ranked first, just ahead of Col-
lege of Charleston and The Citadel

in the North division of the district,
and had already clenched a berth in
the district championship. Unfortu-
nately, the districts did not go as
well as the rest of the season. How-
ever, the team was able to qualify
for a very competitive fall schedule
including teams from Notre Dame
and MIT.
